"Would it help?" Abel spit out this line of dialogue under his expressionless but empty eyes, which is undoubtedly the most impressive scene in this movie. would it help? Seemingly desperate, helpless, and even disdainful, what he told was the most bleak truth.
In a country that advocates justice and freedom, how much injustice and conspiracy are hidden behind the scenes - it is a great irony to suddenly switch to the scene where the innocent faces of children sing carols enthusiastically after all rises. In order to demonstrate his own democracy and fairness, he apparently sought a well-known barrister to defend a spy loyal to his own country, but in fact the outcome of the trial had already been arranged. In the end, Donovan and his family were greatly condemned and threatened by public opinion because of his devotion to his duties. But being loyal to our beliefs and abide by the principles of being a human being (and ironically, this principle is actually the justice and freedom that this country admires and instills), we have seen that even if we are made difficult, threatened, dealt with, and even threatened with life, we have never experienced shaken his faith.
The caring for human nature and respect for every life that Spielberg is good at and preached are still vividly reflected in this film.
Finally, in Bridge of Spies, Abel and Donovan met again. The two, especially Abel, showed the only real and deep smile in the whole film. They held hands tightly and greeted each other. Donovan couldn't help asking him The safety of his life after returning (because he was always worried that his persistence and decision would be a blessing or a curse for Abel), Abel said indifferently, "They should know that I have fulfilled my mission, but sometimes they will make a difference. , people are like this... You only need to see whether I was hugged at the end or asked to go to the back row to know the result.” To be honest, my tears on the bridge at the end never stopped from beginning to end, pursuing justice for Donovan He was moved by his beliefs, and worried by the patriotic spy who was too old to move, full of false teeth, but fearless and loyal to his duty (the spy here subverted the image of spy superman in the previous fighting films, but restored the most real side), for the final The wonderful result is applauded.
